Only Anne music by Will Buck, book and lyrics by John Dietrich
In this musical adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion set in 1920 Britain at the dawn of the Jazz Age, Anne Elliot is forced to confront sacrifices she once made for her family when she finds herself face to face with the love she was persuaded to give up. Meanwhile, finding themselves caught in the upheaval of a changing world, and threatened by post-War financial ruin, all the members of the Elliot family scramble to maintain their aristocratic existence, while being torn between the traditional past they cling to and the new demands of a rapidly shifting modern society.
